can be got using the ``pip``, or ``pip3``, tool for downloading python
packages.
-* network includes: Network structures, definitions and functions will
- be prefixed by ``rte_`` to resolve conflicts with libc headers.
- This change will break many DPDK APIs.
-
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
-* kni: remove KNI ethtool support. To clarify, this is not to remove the KNI,
- but only to remove ethtool support of it that is disabled by default and
- can be enabled via ``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL`` config option.
- Existing KNI ethtool implementation is only supported by ``igb`` & ``ixgbe``
- drivers, by using a copy of kernel drivers in DPDK. This model cannot be
- extended to all drivers in DPDK and it is too much effort to maintain
- kernel modules in DPDK. As a result users won't be able to use ``ethtool``
- via ``igb`` & ``ixgbe`` anymore.
-
* cryptodev: New member in ``rte_cryptodev_config`` to allow applications to
disable features supported by the crypto device. Only the following features
would be allowed to be disabled this way,
to one it means it represents IV, when is set to zero it means J0 is used
directly, in this case 16 bytes of J0 need to be passed.
+* sched: To allow more traffic classes, flexible mapping of pipe queues to
+ traffic classes, and subport level configuration of pipes and queues
+ changes will be made to macros, data structures and API functions defined
+ in "rte_sched.h". These changes are aligned to improvements suggested in the
+ RFC https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-November/120035.html.
+
* metrics: The function ``rte_metrics_init`` will have a non-void return
in order to notify errors instead of calling ``rte_exit``.
+
+* power: ``rte_power_set_env`` function will no longer return 0 on attempt
+ to set new power environment if power environment was already initialized.
+ In this case the function will return -1 unless the environment is unset first
+ (using ``rte_power_unset_env``). Other function usage scenarios will not change.
